More than a way to stay active during hot summer days, it’s a way to cool down, too! And don’t forget about water safety. Swimming lessons give kids (and adults too) the skills they need to be confident and safe in the water.

For outdoor dips, the Kentville Pool is a summer hotspot for public swims, swimming lessons, aquasize, and lifesaving courses. The pool is generally open from July 1 to the end of August.

The Kentville Marlins are the local swim team, offering a competitive swimming program for children and youth ages 5 to 18.
